Powerraq? does anyone know the going prices for these things, (if possible to *buy* and to rent). What are the best dedicated deals on the net? I'm new to dedicated hosting so don't want to be ripped off, has anyone had any exeriances with dedicated hosts that will put me off? does any one have a dedicated host - who with etc...

Tera-byte.com has been very freindly and helpful to me, and I would recommend their services. They host with RaQs as well as lease them. I would check them out first (this is the only one I have actuall experience with).

Some others: People seem to like rackspace, catalog.com, hispeed, dialtoneinternet.com (maybe not the full names and I am not sure what the URL's are exactly. Try .com first Smiling

Okay thanks.

The other thing is what would it cost to buy a raq? I have a mate who runs a data centre and will probably let me put it in there for free or for a £5 a month or something.

Can you buy them in 1's or do you have to buy 250 odd of them? It would be a good idea for someone who works in RaQ to come in this forum.

Yes you could buy just one, and I wouldn't buy direct from Cobalt unless you are planning on getting around 250. I bought mine through Tera-byte (which is where it is colo'd), but this obviously won't work for you (unless you are colo'ing it there).

I'd check out this link for better pricing http://www.insight.com/cgi-bin/bp/1742863631/web/result.html?a=s&f=p&t=a&d=raq&x=49&y=11 . Only slightly higher than what I paid. Not sure what their policies are as I have never bought from them before.

Ummm well, their pricing seems to be much higher tthan what I remember. Another place: http://www.awwm.com/ebay/index.htm (again, these are just bookmarks I have, never ordered from them).

Ok, thanx i'm checking it out. Why won't they work unless I host it with them? (someone said about terra bite) Can't I just put it in my friends datacentre and hook it up?
